Your personal data will be processed until the selection ends, i.e. when it will be decided to accept a particular candidate for a job, end their probationary period or when it will be decided to complete the selection without the hiring of any candidate.
This period should not exceed 4 months. After the selection, your personal data will be stored for 3 years, so that upon a vacancy, we can offer you a proposal, unless you oppose or object to such further data retention. If you do not agree with the storage of your data after the end of the selection period, please inform us on the Subject Access Request Form by email or in any other convenient way for you.
Your personal data will be processed on the basis of your consent to participate in the selection of employees, as well as on the basis for a legitimate interest and the exercise of rights or obligations provided in legal acts.
If you voluntarily submit your personal data to us so that we can keep it in the database of candidates and, contact you, if necessary, we would store your personal data for 3 years.

The processing of your personal data will be based on the expression of your consent, however, in certain cases, the basis for further storage of the complaint may become a legal right.

3. Communication by e-mail
According to the Data Protection Legislation, personal data is considered to be the content of correspondence by e-mail, even if the correspondents are employees of a legal entity. In this context, the content of the communication, as well as the email addresses, are subject to mandatory rules for the processing of personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation.
The basis for the processing of your personal data is the expression of your consent to agree to communicate via e-mail and provide certain data. In addition, the processing of personal data may also be based on performance of the contract and fulfillment of the statutory obligations.
Your email address, correspondence and other related personal data will be processed in accordance with the principle of proportionality. These details will firstly be visible to the person you are directly emailing. However, in some cases, your correspondence may also be read by other employees, for example, an investigation into internal administration, possible violation of legal acts or the violation of internal rules, etc.

4. Direct marketing
With your permission and/or where permitted by law, We may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, which may include contacting you by email or telephone or post with information, news, and offers on Our services.

07. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

We will only store or transfer some of your personal data within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the Data Protection Legislation, GDPR, and/or to equivalent standards by law.
The security of your personal data is essential to Us, and to protect your data, We take a number of important measures, including the following:

    1. limiting access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties with a legitimate need to know and ensuring that they are subject to duties of confidentiality;
    2. procedures for dealing with data breaches (the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, your personal data) including notifying you and/or the State Data Protection Inspectorate where We are legally required to do so;
08. Do You Share My Personal Data?

We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to the following exceptions:

    1. In order to fulfill your ordered services, we will only provide as much of your personal information to our partners, as it will be necessary for the particular service to be performed;
    2. We may provide your personal data to our partners who carry out certain work and provide services (intermediaries who manage data for the purpose of concluding and administering contracts with customers; IT companies that handle data to ensure the development, improvement and maintenance of information systems; to our clients, who provide security and other services, including law, finance, tax, business management, personnel administration and accounting services);
    3. Your personal data may be provided to the court, law enforcement agencies or state institutions to the extent that such provision is provided by legal requirements (e.g. bailiffs, court orders, etc.);
    4. Your personal data may be provided to other entities only with your individual consent, if you would grant such consent on a case-by-case basis.

We may provide your personal data to other data processors not specified in this Privacy Policy who provide services (perform work) to us and handles personal data of Customers and Data Subjects in our name. Data processors have the right to process personal data only in accordance with our given instructions and only to the extent necessary for the proper performance of the obligations established in the contract with you. With the help of data processors, we shall take all necessary steps to ensure that data processors have implemented appropriate organizational and technical security measures and maintain the confidentiality of your personal data.
If any of your personal data is shared with a third party, as described above, We will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, Our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law, as described above in Part 9.
If any personal data is transferred outside of the EEA, We will take suitable steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the EEA and under the Data Protection Legislation, as explained above in Part 9.
If We sell, transfer, or merge parts of Our business or assets, your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of Our business may continue to use your personal data in the same way(s) that We have used it, as specified in this Privacy Policy.
In some limited circumstances, We may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include yours, if We are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority.

09. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data We have about you, you can ask Us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 13. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell Us everything We need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover Our administrative costs in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within less than one month and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, We aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date We receive your request.
You will be kept fully informed of Our progress.
